Re: Performance Bonuses with Tax Payer Dollars

The thing is nations can't afford to regulate bonuses because all the companies would just move to a different country. Then the nation wouldn't be able to tax them...thats why it has to be an international agreement and that will never happen because every country looks out for itself.
